Fitzgerald steps up for Pres again

Munster Junior Cup: Presentation Brothers College flanker Cian Fitzgerald must be breaking some kind of schools record at the Mardyke today when he lines out in the Munster Schools Junior Cup clash with Castletroy College (kick-off 3pm).

Fitzgerald is in his fourth year playing at this grade having been deemed good enough to make his junior debut off the bench four years ago. Since then he has featured on one winning cup team, helping Pres to a 29th title last season.

He will be in good company today with a couple of that winning team: Billy Scannell who captains the team from the hooking position and out-half James Broderick who won his medal from centre last season. Scannell is younger brother of both Niall and Rory who have been picked up by Munster since leaving school.
